Up-close with the Laugo Arms Alien pistol (VIDEOS)

Prague-based Laugo Arms has been generating lots of buzz with the prospect that their Alien 9mm pistol will be headed to market.

The unique-looking handgun, which bears a strong resemblance to the Xenomorph endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species in Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise, has been hinted at by Laugo all summer across their social media but little solid information is out there on it other than they hope to get it to the U.S. market in 2019. To prove it does exist and to show a little bit about what is under the hood, European-based Polenar Tactical shows off the gun in the above video.

“This handgun has the lowest bore axis on the market and the advantage of low recoil and almost no muzzle flip is very noticeable,” Polenar said. For those who would like to see more, below is Václav Vinduska, a Czech competitive shooter, putting one of the prototypes through its paces.
